Tactical decision
aid for littoral operations |
|
Laptop-based naval
operations mission planning workstation for rapid assessment
of own-ship vulnerability, route/mission planning, and
real-time course-of-action analysis for a full spectrum
of non-acoustic anti-submarine warfare (NAASW) threats |
|
Detects small low-observable surface
craft in the littorals for homeland security – drug
traffic, illegal immigration, terrorists in small boats,
and so on |
|
Resides within and interfaces
directly with FalconView, a multimedia mapping package
that displays various types of maps and geographically
referenced overlays |
|
Graphical interface with drilldown
capability for sensor and signature-specific vulnerabilities |
|
Quickly conveys sensitivity to
variations in the environment and own-ship operations |
|
Covers a wide variety
of non-acoustic sensors, environments, and operating
conditions (surface search radars, SAR, IR, optics, lidar,
magnetics, radiometers, and so on) |
|
Utilizes national and tactical
intelligence assets to produce validated target models
that account for weather, atmospheric effects, and sensor
characteristics |
